> This is a silly thread, words are wonderful but they also can have various interpretations. To paraphrase The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, "we don't need no stinkin' dictionaries". > > Transcription, a copy from one form to another - or a direct copy to another medium. From the roots "trans", meaning approximately "cross", "scribe" meaning "write". It is an automatic form. > > Transliteration (not mentioned in this thread), the rewriting of words into a different language using exact definitions or lettering. Not always an accurate reflection of meaning. Wrong. Transliteration is rewriting of words into a different alphabet, essentially the same thing as transcription, KAK NAPRIMER VOT ETO (in transliterated Russian).
